Anderson, Donna Doan
- Abstract
The article examines the role of Midwestern universities in the relocation of Japanese Americans during World War II, focusing on President Walter C. Coffey's correspondence and the racialization process towards whiteness. Topics include the use of the Midwest as a symbolic space, the imagined geography shaping relocation policies, and the assimilation efforts aligned with Roosevelt's New Deal liberalism.
